I know this is probably a bad time to ask this question, but I truly don't know the answer.

If a player is sentenced to jail time or dies.... what happens to their salary cap figures? Is the team off the hook for that money? Or is it the same as cutting a player and you still have to pay whatever is left remaining of their gaurantees?_________________

What happens when a player retires? Maybe it's the same? I honestly have no idea, but I've wondered myself._________________

If they are taken off the books it seems like a good way to get rid of expensive players that aren't producing

It is a good question though._________________

And the other shoe finally dropped. It was only a matter of time with all these players thinking it is okay drive while intoxicated for another player to get into an accident and take another life._________________

Like others have said, getting into a car with a drunk driver is just as bad as being the drunk driver. These two made a huge mistake by getting into a car while being drunk. One paid with his life and the other will more then likely be spending a very long time in prison. With all the resources these guys have, its inexcusable. Sad story. Hope the current players, and people in general, learn from this._________________

Making stupid decisions like this is just the culture of being a professional athlete or any other kind of celebrity. Professional athletes aren't 'men', they are big kids with money. They never had to work a real day in their life, and whose job is based on games we played when we were young. They had everything handed to them through their school years until the pros. This type of reckless behavior will always exist because being a professional athlete/celebrity does not require you to mature as a person.

This isn't true at all._________________

Off the field? Like when he is grocery shopping, does he block the freezer aisle with his sluggish selection of which hungry man to buy?

Correct. Some of these guys work ethics are through the roof._________________

So Ray Lewis never had to work a day in his life? Good to know.

Ya know, people playing football at the professional level takes the same amount of skills as middle school football.

On serious note though, the amount of business decisions and money management these guys go through far outweigh the difficulty of most 9-5's._________________
